CMS Conversion

Update to a modern content management system with rich page builders, user permissions, integrations and ecommerce.

In order to work at scale in an enterprise, your content management system needs to be easy to use, infinitely customizable and work with many users with varying permissions.

While we work with a variety of different CMS products, our favorite to work with is CraftCMS by Pixel & Tonic. We've used CraftCMS to power websites for some of the biggest national brands, universities and ecommerce stores.

Modern Content Management with CraftCMS

CraftCMS is so easy to use you won't recognize it as a scaleable enterprise solution. Don't let that fool you! Craft is full of the intuitive features you'd expect from a consumer grade CMS like Wordpress, but with the flexibility for large teams, brand style guides and extensible plugin architecture.

Leave the styling up to your designers and focus on content. CraftCMS intelligently separates the content from the visual display, making it easy for anyone on your team to update the website without breaking your brand guidelines.

Craft is built to be responsive. It provides a robust framework for developers to have complete control over the source code, allowing for mobile friendly websites and meeting the highest requirements for accessibility.

Security. Content Management Systems are notoriously targeted for phishing attacks. Craft is built with safety and security in mind and is updated regularly to patch any issues that are found.
